As some of you may know, I'm reading Homo History. While I would love to read this book and feel proud of all the accomplishments the LGBT community has made, instead I just read it and feel angered by the misunderstanding, the prejudice and injustice.
Currently on the "making gays straight" part. Angering. I was watching a documentary (well it's been featured in a few, actually) about some of these people that believe to be cured of their homosexuality. Funny thing is, they often admit that they still have homosexual desires, yet they do not act on them.
I've always thought of it like this: you can tell a man he has poor vision, however it is then his choice whether he accepts it and wears the glasses or instead pretends as though he can see. Whether you wear the glasses or not, you're still a man with poor vision.
